Watch now!   In Case You Missed It Embodying White Christian Supremacy: From Deputizing Citizens to Flying the Blue Lives Matter Flag A Roundtable Discussion In the same breath as decrying so called liberal identity politics, the U.S. Right declare themselves representative of an oppressed White, Christian social class, fly Blue Lives Matter flags in place of Old Glory, and bedeck themselves in the cultish paraphernalia of Trump's MAGA movement. With pins and badges signaling adherence to QAnon or movements like the groypers, right-wing politics have taken on the role of cultural identity for millions of Americans. In this discussion, we examine how the “Culture War" frames the Left's struggle to preserve a faltering American democracy and establish a new vision for inclusion and justice that makes meaning of and builds solidarity across identity. Featuring panelists Bradley Onishi, Steven Gardiner, and Zhandarka Kurti. Moderated by Koki Mendis, PRA Communications Director. Watch here. Access the transcript here. Watch Here!
